Granted I am comparing them on totally different platforms and chipsets. The Vertex 60GB is in my laptop (XPS m1330) with ICH8. The 120GB is in my desktop with the ICH10R. That may give an advantage to my desktop scores, but I'm not too sure.

Might be the difference in system, my system right now couldn't get good write results (went from 4.3mb/s to 80mb/s ) until i changed my ICH10 controller to IDE (it was on AHCI before).

While the difference is not as big as shown here, it is significant none the less.

Also noteworthy is the 60GB vertex is slower then the 120 vertex 1 (which would have been a more apples to apples comparison). This does artificially increase the perceived difference between the two. ;)

With all that said. Thank you for sharing your data. Always good to get MORE pov's on a given issue :)
